Dear Abby: 50 Years Later, Former Couple Again Crosses Paths
- DEAR ABBY: The letter writer met Bobbie in college in the early 1970s and wonders if rekindling their relationship after both were widowed earlier this year would be crazy.

- The writer stopped by last summer for brunch and feels they still share the ideals of their youth, admitting a soft spot for her while feeling lonely.
- Dear Abby, written by Abigail Van Buren , counseled caution, advising the writer to keep the moving decision separate from the romance to avoid losing social contacts.
- The writer says they married for seven years before an amicable divorce, and they have considered moving back to the area where they grew up, where the woman now lives far away.
